- Levulinic acid, or
4-oxopentanoic acid, is a white crystalline keto acid prepared from
levulose, inulin, starch, etc., by boiling them with dilute hydrochloric
or sulfuric acids.
- Levulinic acid (LA,
H8C5O3), or gammaketovaleric acid, is a short chain fatty acid having
a
ketone carbonyl group and an acidic carboxyl group.
- It is soluble in
water, ethanol, and diethyl ether, but essentially insoluble in
aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- Levulinic acid is
used in the manufacture of nylons, synthetic rubbers, plastics, and
pharmaceuticals.
- It is a precursor in
the industrial production of other chemical commodities such as
methyltetrahydrofuran, valerolactone, and ethyl levulinate.
- Levulinic acid is
used in cigarettes to increase nicotine delivery in smoke and binding of
nicotine to neural receptors.
- There are many
methods for preparing LA, and the most widely used approach is
dehydration of biomass or carbohydrate with acid[
- Levulinic acid (LA),
accessible by the acid-catalysed degradation of biomass, is potentially
a very versatile building-block for the synthesis of various (bulk)
chemicals for applications like fuel additives, polymer and resin
precursors.
- A biorefinery is a
facility that integrates biomass conversion processes and equipment to
produce fuels, power and chemicals from biomass.
- The kinetic
expressions were used to gain insights into the optimum process
condition for the conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid in
continuous-reactor configurations.
- Levulinic acid is a
kind of new green platform chemical with wide application. The kinetics
of levulinic acid formation from glucose decomposition at high
temperature.
- The levulinic acid
was degraded by several techniques.
- A novel method using
liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS) was
developed for the determination of levulinic acid (LV) in soy
sauces.
- Levulinic acid can
be produced from cellulosic biomass through thermo
hydrolysis.
- Levulinic acid can
be used as an acidulant in foods and beverages.
- It is used as an
intermediate to manufacture synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals,
pesticides. plastics, rubber, and synthetic fibers. It is used in the
manufacture perfumery, food additive, fuel additive, herbicide,
solder flux, stabilizer and printing ink.
- Levulinic acid and
its esters are used as platicizers and solvents in polymer, textiles and
coatings.
- Addition of
Levulinic acid into the culture medium greatly increased the molar
fraction of 3-hydroxyvalerate(3HV) in the copolyester, indicating that
Levulinic acid can be utilized as a precursor of 3HV.
- Levulinic acid is a
highly functional platform molecule that can provide a wide variety of
useful derivatives such as solvents, monomers and biofuel
additives.
- Large-scale
commercialization of the Biofine process could produce levulinic acid
for as little as $0.32 per pound, spurring increased demand for LA and
its derivatives.
- Currently, levulinic
acid has a worldwide market of about one million pounds per year at a
price of $4–6 per pound.
